Works in vmware ESXi
02/02/2012

Pros:

It's ready for RAID 1 right out of the box. Works like a champ in vmware ESXi, no need to buy an expensive RAID controller for redundant vmfs storage! Looks very cool with its LCD and the drive lights only flash during activity.

Cons:

Im not certain why the manual is even included with this unit, it's pretty much useless.

Other Thoughts:

I can't comment on noise levels because this is stored in my computer rack in my basement. It does take the unit about 10 seconds to boot up, but it's independently switched on and off so you just need to be sure to power it on first. Didn't try RAID 0, but I dont see any performance impact from RAID 1 using this device over a single esata external drive.
